City of Plano operates a 1,000+ person government agency managing parks, recreation, public works, and municipal services across the Dallas metro area. The tech stack is heavy on enterprise ERP (JD Edwards, SQL Server) and Salesforce ecosystem tooling, with Cisco infrastructure dominating network and security layers—typical of mid-size government IT maturity. Hiring is broad across operations, parks, and recreation (64 of 123 active roles), signaling sustained investment in service delivery rather than digital transformation.

The organization is headquartered in Plano, Texas, located 20 miles north of Dallas.
JD Edwards for ERP, SQL Server for databases, Salesforce with custom Apex/Lightning components for CRM and process automation, Cisco (Meraki, ACI, ISE) for networking and security, and DocuSign for document workflows.
Maintaining aging water infrastructure, managing inaccurate asset data across systems, strengthening compliance, and ensuring reliable service delivery during severe weather events are documented pain points.
